Chapter 3
Shika fights for her life.
Shika growled and snarled angrily when she saw the dragon. She said "I'll kill you for killing my mother." The dragon snickered and said "I don't think you can kill me." The young demoness transformed and growled. Then she and the dragon started fighting. Even though the dragon walks on fours. He manages to use his claws. Using his tail as a whip he hit Shika's back right leg ten times. Then Shika up to the dragon and bit the base of his neck. The dragon roared and bit Shika's back right leg. Shika howled and dug her claws into the dragon's skin. The dragon let go of Shika's leg and backed off a little. Shika is now favoring he leg.
She know she has to end the fight soon or get killed. So trying not use her back right leg. The young demoness used the other three to run up to the dragon. This time she bit the middle of the dragon's neck. Using the rest of his strength. The dragon breathed hot fire all over Shika. Shika whimpered but didn't let go of the dragon's neck. Soon the dragon is dead and Shika let go of the dragon's neck. Then she slowly limped away from the dragon. Soon she is in the eastern lands. The young demoness can't go any further so she collapsed. After collapsing she untransformed and lost consciousness.
Back in the western lands Sesshomaru has found the dead dragon. The scents around the area tell what happened. Sesshomaru can also that Shika will probably not survive her injures. So he slowly made his way to the castle. The now young demon lord isn't happy. He has lost his father and will probably lose his sister. Sesshomaru sighed sadly and kept heading home. Back in the eastern lands Izayoi has found a new place to live with her new born son. The pup is a boy and has slivery white hair, light gold eyes, and dog ears. Izayoi is cleaning up her new home. When suddenly she heard weak whimpering.
Thinking it was Inuyasha she went into the hut. The young woman went up to Inuyasha's crib. She can see that her son is quietly sleeping. So Izayoi went back outside and followed the weak whimpering. Soon she found an injured female demon. Feeling sorry for the injured demon. Izayoi carefully picked up the girl and took her home. Once at home she laid the girl on an extra bed. Ten she summoned the village's priestess. The village's priestess is the best in the area. Her name is Sanga and she should be able to help. Sanga took care of the girl's burns and leg. She took her time taking care of the girl's shattered right leg.
After taking care of the girl's leg. Sanga tightly wrapped the girl's leg. Then Sanga said "It's going to be many months before she can use the leg to walk. So have her use these crutches. And use this for pain and her burns." Izayoi nodded and watched Sanga leave. Then she looked at the girl's pointed ears, platinum silver hair, and blur cross on her forehead. Just then Izayoi remembered Inutaishou telling her about his children. And she remembered him telling her about his daughter. Just then the young woman realized that. She is taking care of Shika Inutaishou's daughter.
Izayoi smiled and said to herself "I had no idea that Shika is so beautiful." It's late so Izayoi laid down on her bed and went to sleep. In the morning after waking. Izayoi took care of Shika's burns. Then made breakfast and ate. After eating Inuyasha is awake and fussing. Izayoi picked up her son and breast fed him. After feeding and burping him she held him. The young woman looked at him and said "I'm sorry my son but your father is dead." Then she looked at Shika and said to herself "When she comes to I'll have to tell her that her father is dead."
It's been a week since Izayoi found Shika. The young demoness is still out cold. Her burns were only one to two degree. So they healed without leaving scars. Sana is there to check on Shika. She's glad to see that none of the burns scard. Then she unwrapped the girl's leg to check on it. Sanga shook her head and said "Her leg is slowly healing. So she'll won't use it to walk for many months." Izayoi nodded and asked "Will she come to soon?" The priestess smiled and said "Yes she should come to soon." After wrapping Shika's Sanga left. That evening as Izayoi made dinner she heard moaning. She turned around and saw Shika open her light gold eyes.
Shika looked at the human and asked "Who are you?" The young woman smiled and said "My name is Izayoi." Shika's went wide and said "You must be the woman that my father told me about." The young woman nodded and said "Yes I am but your father died while saving me and our son." Shika sat up and said "Father is dead and I have another brother." Izayoi nodded again and said "Yes that's all true. Oh you have to use these crutches. Because your right leg is badly broken."
Shika nodded and asked "May I see my baby brother?" Izayoi smiled and said "Sure you can honey." She went over to the crib and picked up Inuyasha. Then she went over to Shika and put her son in Shika's arms. The young demoness smiled and said "He's so cute and small." Izayoi sat down and said "Your father named him Inuyasha." Shika giggled and lightly stroked Inuyasha's ears. Just then Izayoi asked "Do you think your older brother will come looking for you?" The young demoness said "If Sesshomaru found the dragon I killed. He probably thinks I'm dead. So he probably won't." Izayoi nodded and checked on dinner.
When dinner was done she asked "Are you hungry Shika." She nodded and said "Yes I am and I guess you remembered my name." Together Izayoi and Shika ate dinner. As Izayoi cleaned up Shika held Inuyasha. Just then he woke up and looked at the stranger holding him. Shika looked at his eyes and saw that they are light gold like hers. She smiled and said "Hi Inuyasha I'm your sister Shika." The little pup smiled and cooed. Shika laid him on her left leg and stated lightly tickling Inuyasha. The little hanyou pup started laughing. Izayoi watched Shika and Inuyasha and smiled. She had a feeling that Shika will bound with Inuyasha.
The young demoness played with Inuyasha until they fell asleep. Izayoi didn't want to wake them so she covered them up. Then she went to sleep also. It's been a one month since Izayoi found Shika. The young demoness is up and around. She's been using the crutches to get around. Shika helps with chores and with Inuyasha. The young demoness lover her baby brother. Right now she and Izayoi are sitting on the porch. Inuyasha is sleeping in his crib so the young women are taking a break.
Just then Shika asked "Izayoi can I stay here with you and Inuyasha?" Izayoi nodded and said "Sure you can Shika." The young demoness nodded and used her crutches to get up. She said "Than you Izayoi." Izayoi smiled and said "You're welcome dear." Five years have passed and Inuyasha is five. Shika's leg is fully healed and she can walk, jog, and run. But when she does walk, jog, or runs she limps a little. Inuyasha loves both his mother and his sister. Izayoi and Shika have told the young hanyou about his father and older half brother. He knows that Shika is his half sister. But he doesn't seem to care.
